Default Itchy Red Pimples on Bum

Please Help!

I've been getting these red pimples all over my bum for the last few months (see photos). The newer ones are itchy and the bigger ones get whiteheads on them. I've been traveling through the tropics and I've been sweating a lot which seems to make it worse. Also, whenever I'm on long bus journeys it gets really bad as I'm sitting and sweating all day. I've been trying to use baby powder to keep dry which helps a little but it is still very bad. Might be some sort of staph or fungal infection, I don't know. As I'm traveling in somewhat remote areas I don't have access to a dermatologist.

Does anyone have any ideas what it might be and how I can treat it?

Thanks.

HI sorry to hear about the trouble you have been having. I know that you are travelling and don't think you have time to see a DDR
Deatologist bit am ordinary doctor. Will be able to help you I sure. You probably only need some topical steroid or Amy fungal cream.
